I'm Philippe, 45 years, System Engineer and I want to experiment a little with a CNC Milling machine.
I buy a second hand Isel CPM 4030 CNC but there are no drivers or software included (it was also very cheap, 300€).
Because I'm completely new on CNC world I like to ask witch (free) software can I use to connect the PC with the CNC? And how it works (Tips and tricks) .
Is this the right way of working:
1) design something into a CAD-CAM software like Fusion 360
2) save it into G-code
3) Open the G-code file into the soft to send the commands to the CNC
Step 3 is not so clear what software that I can use to do this.
On the site of Isel a saw they sell some Remote software, but not sure I need this, it's also 312€, a quit expensive for trying.
Thanks in advance for all information.
Regards,
Philippe
